The original album was engineered by Kimsey. This 50th anniversary edition was half-speed mastered at Abbey Road studios and the records were pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl. The second album includes the original mix. The first album is of the new 2023 remix by Chris Kimsey. This reissue was well thought out and features two vinyl albums. The album has stood the test of time and has now finally been reissued. There are even a few prog and orchestral touches giving the album a little more of the feel that the title suggests. The album was one of the group’s most diverse and showed lead guitarist Alvin Lee just as adept at acoustic guitar work as he was as a blazing hot electric player. The album included the track “I’d Love to Change the World” that perfectly captured the times, lyrically and musically. With A Space in Time, released in 1971, the group went beyond the promise of Cricklewood Green and made what is perhaps its best album. ![]() Through 1970s Cricklewood Green and Watt, the band didn’t completely shake off its heavy blues rock and psychedelic sound, but the former in particular showed the group to be capable of making a great album. Hailing from Nottingham, the group’s heavy blues music quickly morphed into a more psychedelic sound on its self-titled debut album in 1967 and on its next two albums, Stonedhenge and Ssssh, both released in 1969.ġ969 was a key year for Ten Years After, as the group’s incendiary performance at Woodstock, highlighted by “I’m Going Home” featured in the Woodstock film, put it on the musical map. Ten Years After (brothers Alvin Lee and Ric Lee, Leo Lyons, and Chick Churchill) was one of the many groups or artists to first emerge out of the 1960s British blues and R&B boom, to become part of the fabric of British rock that dominated in the mid-to-late 1960s and most of the 1970s. This is a most welcome reissue of an album that may not rank as one of the biggest or most important albums of the 1970s, but one worthy of some serious re-evaluation.
